He was just sitting there waiting for his ship to come in. LOL. Taken from Window On Wildlife at Wildwood Preserve Metropark, in Toledo, Ohio.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

A very good capture (nice close up) and what a sweet face.
As I sit here I'm trying to get bird shots with the converter and 70-300? Tigsā™„ =^..^=

I somehow didn't think it would be Johnny Depp doing his Keith Richards impression. ;~}
As someone who is absolutely useless at birdie shots, I have to doff my hat to you Jim for this fine close-up. I particularly like that wistful expression he's got.

"Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time"

Jimbob - Be nice to Captain Jack, or he'll poop on your deck! (Oh, he may do that anyway!!) Great focus and dof, with lighting like a spotlight. Kudos! What lens did you use? Thad

Looks like he's waiting for a hand-out of some free seeds. A great shot. The clarity and details are perfect.
